it isnt bad enough
western civ is declining we need ignored poets to babble about it
phonebooks weigh so much yet we delist ourselves for fear of being called
junkyard dogs are mean we build mountains of trash for their personal playgrounds



it isnt bad enough
athletes sacrifice mind & body for the entertainment we nap to--the food we eat while watching sports turns us into self sculptures of lard
we only use the six percent of our neuro potential for ways to not use the other ninety-four
the successful search for extra-terrestrial intelligent life would scare us to death



it isnt bad enough
most cars traveling at kinetic energy levels that would crush tanks still run on roads designed for horse drawn wagons
the people inside cars are lulled into couch comfort with five speaker surround to bop to as long as they can swap out playlists on a two inch screen at eighty mph
drivers are screaming their way cross country assuming there is mutual respect for the legal lane line while the other driver thinks not me



it isnt bad enough
people arent sleeping the required levels to maintain attention to what they feel is the least reason to be in their cars
once arrived people cannot remember driving to their destinations
cars are designed to generate a profit rather than preserve the occupants lives (because we would nuke a wartime enemy who killed so many innocents--think wtc vs annual road carnage)



it isnt bad enough
nine out ten doctors prefer drug peddlers free dinners & samples
blind piano tuners spend thousands of dollars training for jobs they cant get to
the next graduating class of any college will be more unemployable than the last




it isnt bad enough
plastic bags clog parts of the ocean we dont make the metaphoric connection with our own arteries
terrorists are out to kill the immoral american who do a much better job of it at fast food stops
politics kills the king & queen it is the national sport of the world--long live the sport of royalty dying for its inflexibility
